Has your dog success fully gone through the puppy course or dog training course and you still feel your dog needs to improve his or her skills or just needs some activity and you want to continue with the training? Then our progress course is here ready for you and your dog. We pay attention to the continuous improvement. We will teach you and your dog many challenging exercises and activities to strengthen your relationship. We enable your dog to develop his or her skills even further. So if you want to have a dog that acts friendly among the other dogs and has enough physical and mental activity, you are more than welcome to join us during our progress sessions. We will teach you how to communicate with your dog even in the distance.  We have a maximum of six dogs in each class to ensure that we can give each team individual attention as well as making sure progress is being made continuously and every step of particular exercises is managed appropriately. Each lesson last an hour, the fee is from just £65 for a 6 week course. These classes are designed to advance your dog's education in a pleasant, social environment.  The sessions consist of control exercises (sit, lie down at a distance, retrieving, etc.,) tricks (eg. roll-over, spin) and negotiating obstacles (agility). More advanced courses involve teaching the dog more mentally demanding exercises like distance moves, scent work and positional exercises on the move.

Progress Course Content:

In these sessions we will show and explain you how to teach your dog various different exercises. It is like a brief visit into various dogs' sports including agility, obedience and many more. You can try a sample of each of them and decide which of them suits you and your dog best. During the cooperation you will become a real team with a great level of mutual respect. You will learn to understand your dog' s needs as well as he will learn how to understand yours. Participating in many challenging games you will develop a strong relationship based on trustful bond between you and your dog.

With our small class sizes there is enough time to discuss individual problems and we will give you advice on how to deal with the dog's uncertainty or overexcitement.
